The xserver-xorg stanza in debian/control looks like this:
Package: xserver-xorg
[...]
Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.4-3), xserver-xorg-video-all | xserver-xorg-video-2, xserver-xorg-input-all | xserver-xorg-input-2, ${misc:Depends}, xkb-data | xkb-data-legacy, x11-xkb-utils
Recommends: libgl1-mesa-dri, udev, discover1 | discover, ${F:XServer-Xorg-Detect-Depends}
[...]

I understand the intent of this check, but it doesn't seem to actually
work here.

Cheers,
